Self-sufficient living is the ability and practice of providing for all of your own needs and the needs of your household without outside aid or resources. It relies on knowledge and skills, as well as a spirit of independence and motivation. Attempting it is certainly not for everyone, but those who choose it tend to be passionate about their reasons.
